A man pushes a shopping cart across a level floor. What force resists the effort force? A) gravity B) friction C) the normal for
1 answer:
Answer:
B) Friction
Explanation:
Friction is a force that acts when an object is sliding along a surface. Microscopically, this force is due to the fact that the two surfaces are not perfectly smooth, but they have "imperfections" that cause a force that opposes the motion of the object.
For an object sliding on a flat surface, the force of friction has magnitude:
where
is the coefficient of kinetic friction
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
The direction of the force of friction is always opposite to the direction of motion of the object.
In reality, friction also acts if the object is at rest and it is pushed by a force; in this case, we talk about static friction, and its magnitude is
where is called coefficient of static friction, and it is generally larger than the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Answer:
4. 10.0 m/s²
Explanation:
I) if initial velocity is 'v₀', the final velocity is 'v', the accelaration is 'a', the distance is 'L' and elapsed time if 't', then:
II) using these two equations after substitution v₀=0; v=30 and L=45:
Answer:
a) ΔEC=-23.4kW
b)W=12106.2kW
c)
Explanation:
A)
The kinetic energy is defined as:
(vel is the velocity, to differentiate with v, specific volume).
The kinetic energy change will be: Δ ()=
Δ ()=
Where 1 and 2 subscripts mean initial and final state respectively.
Δ()=
This amount is negative because the steam is losing that energy.
B)
Consider the energy balance, with a neglective height difference: The energy that enters to the turbine (which is in the steam) is the same that goes out (which is in the steam and in the work done).
We already know the last quantity: =
Δ (
)=23400W
For the steam enthalpies, review the steam tables (I attach the ones that I used); according to that,
The exit state is a liquid-vapor mixture, so its enthalpy is:
Finally, the work can be obtained:
C) For the area, consider the equation of mass flow:
where
is the density, and A the area. The density is the inverse of the specific volume, so
The specific volume of the inlet steam can be read also from the steam tables, and its value is: , so:
